Hopefully next time we get the wind behind us we will be smart and kick more than we handball.

Nice work from Gus who put himself in the perfect spot. But snuffs it. Gotta nail those.

10 second display of why Melksham will never get dropped

    Brayshaw could've had a hand in 2 as well, but missed. 

    Disappointing finish there.  Should have kicked that.

    Pretty average start but, hey, we lead.  Lots of improvement still to come and we generally start slow.

     

    Surely a 50 against Papley for being in Brayshaw's protected zone?

    He should have kicked that regardless, though.

    We played poorly but have a 3 point lead. Question is whether the breeze will cause us grief in the second quarter.

    Hope we don't regret missed opportunities now that they have the wind in the second,


    Anybody noticed Brayshaw has a subtle physical similarity to Rod “Tilt” Carter? 

    Midfield. It’s all about the midfield. Swans are playing a spare down back so unless we can win some clearances we will keep battling a congested forwardline which Sydney love.

    Hopefully Weid can get a touch soon.

    At least we rallied late.

    Why does Melksham give away lazy head high frees all the time????

    Great pressure from Sydney then. They’ve got the matchups right so far. Goodwin will have to make a change or three to make a break.

    Will he do it?

    Alarm bells ringing for me we don’t look switched on at all soft tackling, back to just bombing it in and mids hesitating with ball in hand and getting caught or smothered. This quarter against the wind will be a test of how much we want this.

    Bit hard when our forward 50 entries have been abysmal.

    Spargo. Great snap but that was Wagners goal. Great pressure/spoil

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
